@@DeguddBub 9:52 He's mostly talking about Heavy armor, Medium was just the word that came out of his mouth first. But true, he did say the word medium first.
The medium 50% explosion resistance armor is what I run on bots primarily. I survived a teammate's orbital barrage on top of my head, stimmed up and kept going. I have not specifically tested if I can shoot at my feet with the grenade crossbow. I'll try that tonight.

Recoilless insta-kills all dropship passengers when shot in the middle (you have to hit the dropship itself). If you hit the engine, behaviour is as it was before.
@@plasmarocker special note 2: this also includes factory striders, the ship is a little hard to hit in the body with a factory strider but it will kill
just so you're aware, it is automaton blood that is covering your character. if you look closely, you can see all automatons have red tubing running through their bodies. it would also explain the cages full of dead humans.
Wrong. Red blood is the helldiver's. Automatons have oil and you get black spots on your armor. The only reason you don't see it that often compared to bugs is that you have to be really close to the bots when you shoot/kill them which rarely happens.
@@BiggieJ4224 i mean tubing. if you look throughout automaton bodies, especially the necks and chest, you can see dark red tubing cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Uk6jq7QpeUAU6yxR95hN6V-1200-80.png
I believe from some Eravin vids that the armor class on the front of tanks/turrets is higher than at the rear. To one shot them you need to aim for the rear of these units. Also Shooting a dropship and bringing it down BEFORE the troops drop kill everything on it. I even killed a Factory Strider like this before it dropped, but you have to catch the ship in transit since they drop tanks and factory striders almost immediately when arriving.
yes recoiless shotting dropships midair by targeting the body not the thrusters kills ALL units, small chaff, hulks, striders, tanks, and fab striders. diff being the ship explodes while all passengers on it close to blast, rather than targeting thruster where it falls first then explodes, with terrain screwing up the passengers taking damage aim higher so you dont hit the passengers, but not too high where it gets deflected off the top
the latest ThiccFilA video explains in detail why tanks are not dying in one shot for the recoiless rifle and other interesting "bugs" thou these are not actually bugs but it is something that needs to be fixed
To destroy cannon turrets as well as tanks in one shot you should aim at their gun/barrel. It still counts as a hitbox and doesn't have upgraded armor as front plate does
If you hit the body of a dropship it kills all of the passengers, including hulks. Tanks of any kind and the factory strider don't die when you take out their lift though So if you see a dropship with a hulk and whatever else on it you don't wanna deal with (cough cough rocket devastators) then shoot the head, middle of body or the butt end of the dropship. Not the engines, that just causes the spiral down thing and the bots still live. Hitting it in the belly where the bots are hanging works too, you can't hit the chaff though or else the dropship lives -Steviemaster, SES Titan of Judgement
100% taking out dropships with recoilless rifle kills all bots on board. You hit a passenger with your shot, gotta aim for the section of the ship between the thrusters. It breaks the ship apart mid-air, while hitting a thruster will cause it to drop, but sometimes enemies can survive the crash from that.
Was this the first game of the day? Did you have too much or not enough coffee? 😂 Glad to see even you are mortal, Takibo! Great video as always and I love you content! ❤❤
I miss the ‘Whaaaat’s up, Legends!’ shoutout at the start. I was literally playing it for my fiancée almost every time I started watching one of your videos 😂
the turrets on the tanks have their break points broken again, if you shoot a recoiless at it head on it's like 100 damage shy of one shotting it. you have to hit the tank turret barrel, the sides, top, or back of the turret (does not apply to barrager tanks). same applies with tank turret towers. in general, 2 anti tank shots to the front turret face plate (2 EATs, 4 commando shots, 2 recoiless, 2 quasar, idk spear since it doesnt shoot straight on so it might hit the top and 1 shot), 1 shot every where else.
hey takibo, what do you think would be a great buff to the purifier? i feel like an inceneration mechanic, such as the acid rain, that reduce armor on hit temporarely
so the cannon turrets (and annihilator tanks) can be one-shot from the front with the RR if you hit the barrel (this is what happened near the beginning of the mission) also hitting a dropship in the center (or head or butt) will kill everything in the dropship if you hit it before it drops (including tanks and factory striders) both these things I've done earlier today on diff 9 missions
Fun fact, hitting the drop ship with the recoilless rifle in its main body (not the engines) kills the drop ship and any bots in it, rather than just dropping the bots faster, doesn’t matter the bot, it’s going to die, ez way to kill groups, hulks, and factory striders with 1 shot
No way you just showed me you can takeout the stratagem jammer with the recoilless. I’ve been going into the base and hellbombing it every time, What’s next, you can destroy the detector tower with it too?
Your loadout is pretty dope, but you get hard countered by berserkers. Any ideas how one could remedy this? My guess is to switch the secondary for something more punchy but idk
Crossbow can kill a whole group of zerkers in two shots if they are close enough together, which they usually are. They are definitely not a problem for this loadout. Hardest counter on bots to this setup are gunships, but takibo actually made them look easy here. Its very hard to line those shots up.
I'm not a fan of one-shoting factory striders, it feels like it lessens the enemie. Two shots to the head make more sense to me. Same with behemoth chargers, two shots. But lower spawn count to balance it. As thier clearly more of them.
They should get the Terminator license and make an alternate version of Super Earth available and we can go play in the future war of the Terminator Universe. We would be a Tech Com Diver. Then we could unlock Kyle Reese and Future War John Connor to play as. That would be so cool.
Recoilless Rifle will one shot drop ships. HOWEVER you have to hit the body of the ship and NOT one of the engines in order for it to kill the passengers.
Please do a guide on how to survive these higher difficulties! It gets real hard to do anything beyond level 8 and I want to contribute to the efforts of democracy!
@@63LimarNot sure what you mean by safe, as there are significantly more enemies on the bug front that can call for reinforcements compared to bots, especially when talking about D10. For example D10 bot patrols only have like 2 chaff and mediums plus a hulk, or just a hulk scorcher plus berserker and no chaff at all.
If you hit the main body of the dropship, everything dies. Do not hit the engines. Passengers will survive otherwise. With cannon turrets, you destroy with single shot if you hit the barrel, side o back. Front plate requires 2 shots.
I've noticed playing solo the bots will team kill alot more because there all focused on you. I've had rocket striders become great allies by shooting mobs for me
Fortified passive also depends on armor type. Heavy will definitely survive a crossbow shot to feet, medium will do too, and light might struggle here a bit, but possible. 17:50 Also the recoilless rifle shot to the drop ship's engine will destroy it, and if you do so before the automaton deployment animation starts, you kill them all :)
@@MrNimbleBear no, it's not consistent, even if you kill it before they drop. They can glitch under the ship and stay alive and shoot you from under where you can get shot but you can't shoot them.
@@FrozenByFire3 true, but the rifle's aoe is not big enough to take out a whole squad of enemies, therefore both methods will result in the same. And I've proposed the animation part because if you take your time before shooting, the drop ship will drop the bots, at which point it doesn't matter if you shoot the ship or not. Again, just be quick, regardless of which method to use.
10:21 wouldn't that just be comedically overpowered? The only difference would be stamina/speed, and I'd argue the loss if stam/speed wouldn't make up for the loss of armor if that's the only benefit to switching
am i the only one that feel that the Recoiless rifle has become a bit too OP. i kinda enjoied the fact that you had to hit the red eye of the hulk, and i think the factory stider should need 2shots in the eye to get him or 5 in the general head
No that would have killed it in one shot if he hit the barrel. For some reason the barrel has lower armor than the front armor plating of the turret and body

You can survive a railgun explosion with medium fortified. and with some luck you can survive a 500kg in certain situations
9:46 There actually is a medium scout armor in the very first warbond
recoilless rifles fire shells, not missiles. They start decelerating as soon as they leave the barrel
Correct. The projectiles are subject to ballistic effect.

That red blood you see on capes is most likely grease, as grease is usually a bright red in real life and looks just like jam lmao
Yeah I dont think they need to make any changes to medium or light, but heavy armor really needs one more added benefit to make it worth choosing.
